Uelsmann, Jerry N. - Xiang Xiang de Shi Kong: Jieli Yousiman Hui Gui = Imaginary Spaces: Jerry Uelsmann Retrospective

Beijing, Zhongguo She Ying Chu Ban She, 2007. Hardcover. Black DJ with photo illustration and white lettering; black boards with white lettering; 260 pp.; richly illustrated in color. Text in Chinese and English. "The visually plausible but philosophically impossible situations presented in Jerry Uelsmann's photographs contradict the essential information we have come to expect from photographs. By subverting the currency of literal fact, Uelsmann releases us from the constraints of photography's mimetic function. No longer burdened by representation, we naturally return to our internal, nonlinear faculties of thought and feeling to savor the inexpressible resonance of his enigmatic visions. Vague, despiet their sharpness and fine detail, and ambiguous despite our recognition of their constituent elements, his photographic montages are like dreams that slip past our perceptual defenses triggering a response but never quite revealing their meaning." -- DJ. Good+ (Ex art library with sticker on rear pastedown and stamp on ffep; DJ is edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; boards are lightly edgeworn; textblock edges are lightly scuffed/smudged; interior is in excellent condition; binding is solid.) .
